The Division of Genomic Medicine consists of three integrated sections and one core resource. It is the locus for all translational work and also houses the Biorepository. The Biorepository is one of the major core areas serving the Hussman Institute for Human Genomics and the University. It stores biological samples ranging from blood to tissue and fluids. A dedicated team of individuals work strictly in the bank. Significant expertise in informatics and sample handling has been accumulated in the current personnel, and this is one of the strengths of the repository. It provides samples and DNA extraction for all of the HIHG research studies, and many of those within the Medical Center.
